PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah frequentl7 enters public construction
contracts with private contractors for public and other works, and
WHEREAS, in the course of such projects it is sometimes necessary
to execute routine change orders to authorize work not contemplated when the
original contract was entered; and
WHEREAS, the responsible City department head, with the approval of
the City Manager, is the appropriate party to execute routine change orders
when those are necessary to satisfactorily complete projects budgeted by the
City Council, but these City officials require guidance for determining when
a change order is routine,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE liT RESOLVED as follows:
l. Authority to execute routine change orders in connection with public
construction contracts is hereby delegated to the City department head
responsible for managing the contract; provided the department head secures
the approval of the City Manager. Routine change order means a change order
for which the City estimates that the total additional cost of the change
order will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original contract sum or
$5,000 whichever is greater; provided that no change order can exceed the
total amount that the City Council has previously budgeted for the project
unless the Council separately authorizes an additional appropriation.
2. This delegation of authority shall apply to all public construction
contracts pending on the date of this resolution or hereafter approved.
